ETIWAN GUANOS,
Soluble Manures and Sulphuric Acid,
MANUFACTURED at Charleston, under the direction of Dr. N. A. PRATT, Chemist for
the Sulphuric Acid and Super-Phosphate Company. .
SOLUBLE PHOSPHORIC ACID, in the form of SOLUBLE PHOSPHATE OF LIME, or
DIS80LVED BONE PHOSPHATE, is the basis of all good Fertilizers, and these aro valuable
in tho ratio of Soluble Phosphoric Acid which is in them.
Tho immense deposits of Phosphoric Quanos which wore diMCovcrcd in 1867 in South Caro?
lina, by Dr. PRATT, consists mainly of Insoluble. Phosphate of Limo, which is mado available
as a Fertilizer by hoing ground to powdor, and reduced by Sulphuric Acid to such a condition
aa to make its insoluble phosphate soluble in water, and thus mado capablo of being taken up
by growing plants. The insoluble Phosphat? found in any commercial Fertilizer is of no
more valuo to the plant than tho original Phosphate rock. The greater tho proportion of this
Soluble Phosphate which any Fertilizer contains, the less tho quantity required per acre, and
consequently the cheapest Fertilizer is that containing the highest per centage of Soluble
Phosphate.
Impressed with those truths, tho Sulphuric Acid and Super-Phosphate Company have erected
at Charleston, the first extensive Acid Chambers South of Baltimore, and are able to offer to
planters tho highest per ccntago of Soluble Phosphate of Limo known in any market.
Their Fertilizers aro offered under two forms:
1. Etiwan, No. 1-PURE SOLUBLE PHOSPHATE, guaranteed to contain 24??tr cent, ol
Dissolved Bone Phosphate of Limo, $00 per ton, 10 per ccjft. discount for cash.
a. Etiwan. No. a-PERUVIAN SUPER-PHOSPHATE, guaranteed to contain 'JO per cent,
of Dissolved Boin! Phosphate, and l.J to 3 por cent, of Ammonia, with a sufficient addition of
Peruvian Guano to adapt it to all Crops, $70 per ton. 10 per cent, discount for cash.
WE AI.SD OFFER:
DISSOLVED BONE, of high grado, for planters or manufacturers, who may desire to mix
into any other compost, and wo suggest that this is the best and cheapest method for manu?
facturera to transport tho Sulphuric Acid contained in the mixture. Will be sold affixed rato
